Wearable Intelligence was created by former Googlers and it
has received financial backing from First Round Capital, Kleiner
Perkins and Glass Collective. It's working on Glass-based
products for professionals like doctors, news anchors and
police.

The product worn by doctors strips Google's product of
entertaining features like the ability to take and share photos.
It replaces them with things the professionals need, like a
medical dictionary and the ability to see a patient's record in
the wearer's line of vision.

Gannes spoke to one emergency room doctor who felt Wearable
Intelligence helped him save a patient's life. At the very least,
it may have saved the patient from developing a life-long
disability.

Dr. Steve Horng described a situation with a patient whose
brain was bleeding. Horng was using Wearable Intelligence Glass
while treating the patient. The device allowed him to quickly see
that the patient was allergic to blood pressure medication
without rifling through a mound of paperwork. The time he saved
being able to visually pull up the patient's medical history may
have made a world of difference.

“Google Glass enabled me to view this patient’s allergy
information and current medication regimen without having to
excuse myself to log in to a computer, or even lose eye contact,”
Dr. Steve Horng told Gannes.
